Re: [Tile-dev] Windows builds pre 8.4.6

[Mats B. <ma...@pr...>]

I was finally able to build a 8.4.1 based tclkit with tile statically linked
on Windows.

I have put it all at: http://coccinella.sf.net/tclkits/
which includes a How To README file, various things needed,
and prebuilt tclkits:
http://coccinella.sf.net/tclkits/tclkit-tile.exe
http://coccinella.sf.net/tclkits/tclkit-tile.upx.exe

Read all about it at: http://coccinella.sf.net/tclkits/README
